for "Skyfall"...

Daniel Kleinman Joins Skyfall

29th June 2012

MI6 can confirm that Daniel Kleinman will
once again direct the title sequence to the latest James
Bond film, "Skyfall".

He first worked
on the 007 series when Pierce Brosnan was making his debut in "GoldenEye" with
a stunning sequence that highlighted the fall of the Iron Curtain with
hammer and sickle iconography. Kleinman created the title sequences for
all of Brosnan's outings, using digital technology and increasingly complex
effects.

When the franchise rebooted in 2006 with
Daniel Craig's "Casino
Royale", the traditional
silhouetted girls were gone, but instead fans were treated
to a unique rotoscoped animation.

Director Marc Forster
brought his preferred titles company MK12 in to create
the "Quantum of Solace" credits, so "Skyfall" will
be Kleinman's sixth Bond film after a break of six years.

Working under his company Rattling Stick, Kleinman is
joined by his regular production designer John Ebden for
the "Skyfall" sequence.

British television commercial and music video director. He consistently
wins the
top awards for his advertising at Cannes, D&AD, the One Show,
British Arrows, Clio, Creative Circle, Midsummer Awards to name
but a few. The Gunn Report recognised him as the Most Awarded
Director in the World and he has received the President’s
Award from the British Arrows and Creative Circle. He has also
been rated No1 in Shots Best Director list, was No1 in Campaign’s
list of Top Directors for over four consecutive years and was
was recently named US Commercial Director of the Decade in Ad
